I’m curious if it’s possible to write data directly to a file on the web server using javascript and without jQuery.

For example, if I have a file on my server named stats.txt, I would like to write data in it if a user clicks a given link.

I looked around everywhere but there’s next to no info about writing data on the server.

You see, I don’t want my users to save the stats file to their computers, because that would be just useless for tracking site statistics.

Also, if there is a different method for tracking statistics, again, without jQuery, I’d like to know.

    I’m curious if it’s possible to write data directly to a file on the
    web server using javascript and without jQuery.

    Fortunately there’s no such method neither in javascript nor in jQuery. This would have been a humongous security threat. But you could use a server side script (PHP, ASP.NET, Java Servlets, …) that will write to the file and then send an AJAX request to this script.
